wages to its conductors and por ters "â€¢ it was apparent lincoln thought he as well as his father was entitled to some credit for what he had done for the negroes his father set them free the employment provided by the pullman company according to the son has done more than any thing else to uplift the colored raw chairman walsh was skeptical about the uplifting effect of an arrangement which forced the negro porters to accept gratuities but lin coln was of the opinion that the prac tice didn't affect their morals doesn't think it nice 1 confess he said however 1 don't think the arrangement is uice lincoln admitted he thought the wages of both coiiductors and por ters should be raised he intimated the question of raising the of the conductors would be taken up at the next meeting of the executive committee may 21 the porters are paid 7.u0 a month and make con siderable more tn tips has the company ever attempted to abolish the tipping system asked chairman walsh no sir said lincoln do you believe that if you were to raise the porters wages to 60 a month and pq_st notices that tipping was forbidden it would put an end to the tipping system lincoln was asked he seemed to enjoy the question and laughed i don't know 1 he i eaid and laughed again i think tome tips would be given no mut ter what salaries were paid situation annoys him oil certainly said lincoln do you consider 27,50 a month sufficient to enable a negro porter to support himself and family iu comfort absolutely not was the ready ! response i may say the situation annoys me very much indeed do you say the self-respect of a i man is not lowered by the acceptance of tips that is my opinion if tips were abolished asked commissioner garretson would the company have to raise wages un doubtedly isn't this something of a parillel of conditions before the war when some of the railroads actually owned their brakemen i couldn't say commissioner o'connell wanted to get lincoln even more definitely into the record so he put this question if an effective law were passed pro hibiting tips what would be the re sult why " said lincoln laughing the porters would have to be paid a liv ing fl age there's no question about just what are your views about an increase in the wages of porters inquired mr garretson i think thare ought to be a change in our system jn that direction yes sir lincoln said he fully
